A list of resources for The Haberdashery of Imaginary Art - in many cases, the art and artists that inspired the posts, but also articles, art and artists I have discovered along the way that have fed into posts, or are maybe examples of art along similar lines.
Where resources are connected with specific posts, this has been acknowledged. Some articles or works are referenced or linked to from the posts themselves. Some resources have connections with works in progress. Some provide reference to ideas I’ve used or looked at before, which have resurfaced as a piece of imaginary art.
Read on and I hope you will be inspired too.
